For the Macro Mondays theme: inheritance
I inherited the love for nature with all her beauties from my parents. We used to walk a lot in my childhood in the countryside and every time we discovered a new flower or a little animal. Even a few drops of rain wouldn't stop us. It were good times and I'm still enjoying the little things ;-)
This 400 Aniversary Clock was a gift from my grandfather to my mom when she moved to a new house in 1958. Now I have it in a special place at home.

This is a little Avon stickpin, found in the jewelry box that I inherited from my mom nearly 30 years ago. She collected frogs. This delightful little frog is three dimensional, about the size of a dime and whenever I look at it, it makes me smile and think of her :) Happy Macro Monday!!
something a bit different..:)
Wish you all beautiful, productive and calming weekend, have a great time*

For Macro Monday's topic of the week : Inheritance. HMM !
During the first world war, my grand-mother left her house in a village near Arras, in the north of France with her children. My grand-father was on the battle fields and she went on the roads towards the south to find a safer place, along with hundreds of people. When it was time to come back, they found a family of Belgian people settled in their house. The lady, before leaving, gave my grand-mother her camay earrings as a thank you gift.
Apparently there was only one earring left when my mother inherited it and she had it transformed into a ring that she offered me when I was a teenager. I've worn it ever since. The girl on the camay has lost her nose but I don't mind.
(Picture and story different earnings though)
Few years ago my moms friend moved back to our hometown. I call her auntie. Soon after auntie moved back she found out that her middle school teacher (who then was in her eighties) lived two blocks down the street.
The teacher had never been married and did not have children of her own. She lived alone by herself and had a hired helpers who came during different hours of the day to do the household chores.
Auntie then decided that she would visit her teacher every Sunday rain or shine and spend the day with her. This became their thing and went on for a few years. Three years ago I had the pleasure of meeting this sweet lady in her home. She offered me sweets and snacks and was so happy to have a new visitor. Her eyes sparkled with joy.
The same year one Sunday when auntie was visiting her, the teacher complained of a slight chest pain. The ambulance was called and she was rushed into the emergency room. On the way to the emergency room, the teacher held my auntie's hand and said thank for being there for me. She then took off the diamond earrings that she was wearing handed it over to my auntie and said this is a little token of my appreciation for everything that you have done for me over the years dear, I want you to have it. Later that day she died of an heart attack.
I cant get over the fact that in the midst of the pain and chaos the teacher took the time to thank auntie for her kindness and how much she cherished those Sunday visits.
This is the sweetest story I have ever heard of inheritance.
Un mondo più pulito è la migliore eredità da lasciare alle future generazioni - A cleaner world is the best legacy we leave to future generations.
These are my great grandfather´s scissors. I inherited them after my grandmother´s death. Until now they have been in use for more than 100 years. Maybe they are even older. They remind me on my childhood when we visited my grandparents.

My grandmother used to do a lot of needlework. I think it was a main subject at girls' school. Her (brass?) thimble is placed on the detail of an old pillowcase done by her.
As a child I used to be less appreciative of this art and found these pillowcases very scratchy.
I inherited this necklace from my mum. It isn't anything special and not valuable, but it's so versatile going with almost everything I wear for an evening out or having friends round for a meal.
Thank you for your favourites. :O)
This is not an inheritance as such, but it comes close enough. This is the inside page of my old Bible, which my mum gave (well, I begged her for it and few promises later I received it) me in my teens. The inscription is my dad's. He bought it for my mum and noted the date on it...this is was long before I was born.
HMM!
My uncle passed away when I was a little boy. When I was a teenager I was helping my grandparents move and found my uncle's old guitar from the early 70's. Even though it is unplayable I have kept it safe for 25 years and it has been the one constant thing through all those years.
I'm not sure if it's macro enough, but I set the camera on the strings, so...
Dunham Massey Hall, usually known simply as Dunham Massey, is an English country house in the parish of Dunham Massey in the district of Trafford, near Altrincham, Greater Manchester. It is now a National Trust property, open to the public. During World War I it was the Stamford Military Hospital.
The stately home was designated a Grade One listed-building on 5 March 1959. It has been owned by the National Trust since the death of the 10th and last Earl of Stamford in 1976. Over 340,000 people visited the house in 2014/15, placing it in the ten most popular National Trust houses.
Dunham Massey was built in the early 17th century by the Earls of Warrington, passing to the Earls of Stamford by inheritance; the family still live in part of the house. There were significant alterations, especially internally, at the start of the 20th century. It has historic formal gardens and a deer park. It was formerly in the ancient parish of Bowdon, Cheshire.

I inherited this ring from my mother, and she inherited it from her aunt. The meaning of the symbols is "Love, Fidelity, Death", but unfortunatly I don't know if the ring has a story.
As a child, whenever I visited my grandmother, the first thing I did was to play this old music box.
I'm still fascinated by the sound it makes when turning the handle.
For those found in Christ Jesus there is an immeasurable inheritance that awaits us. We will be with Him in all of His glory; in perfect communion and fellowship without the corruptiveness of sin. We will dine at the wedding feast as we cherish eternal life that will surpass our best moments here on Earth. It will be beyond our wildest dream. God is the very essence of all things good and His presence will fill all of Heaven and His goodness will be evident to all. O how my soul longs for that great and glorious day!
“Macro Mondays” and this week’s theme “Inheritance”
c'est une toute petite statuette rapportée d'Afrique à ma fille par son grand-père.Nous avons discuté ensemble du thème et c'est elle qui a eu cette idée.Ce qu'elle voudrait en héritage, c'est une planète où les animaux seraient encore vivants et non pas juste des statuettes. J'ai eu cette planète en héritage à moi de lui transmettre aussi belle que je l'ai reçue.J'espère que cette photo ira pour le thème.
(Je précise que les défenses de l'éléphant ne sont pas en ivoire).
It is a quite small statuette brought back by Africa to my daughter by her grandfather. We discussed together the theme and it is her who had this idea. What she would want in inheritance, it is a planet where animals would be still alive and not just statuettes. I had this planet in inheritance, to me to transmit her so beautiful that I received it. I hope that this photo will go for the theme.
(I specify that the elephant tusks are not ivory).
Sorry for my English :-)

This is what inheritance is about, family. This is my grandparents, both from my mothers and fathers side. The year is 1959 and their names are Emmy, Hertha, Edwin and Arthur. Without them I wouldn't be here.
of my mother. Born in 1907 and died in 1994. She was a musical and artistically talented woman.This is the inheritance from my mother !
The Background paper is a page from an old guest book ( 1913).
Its very interesting with a lot of anecdotes ,drawings ,music scores ect.
After my Dad passed away 7 years ago I inherited a wallet of family documents, mainly birth marriage and death certificates. The photo shows my grandparents' marriage certificate dated 30 Jan 1915. I've compiled our family tree and hopefully one day I will pass it on to my son to carry it on.

....it's time to wind the Mantle clock that belonged to my Grand Parents, and to take a macro for MM.
For Macro Mondays - Inheritance.
Happy Macro Monday!!
My grandmother lived the gospel every day. Her life was hard but her faith was strong. She left us all with an amazing example of trusting God in all things. I can't think of a better inheritance!
Macro Monday-Inheritance- Depression Glass from my Grandma.
Depression glass is clear or colored translucent glassware that was given free, or at low cost, in the U.S. and Canada around the time of the Great Depression (1920-1939).
The Quaker Oat Company and other food manufacturers put a piece of glass in their products as an incentive to purchase. (Wikipedia)
These dishes would have been My Grandmas' 'best' dishes. I cherish them because of the time it must have taken her to collect it. We always refer to them as 'Grandmas' Dishes'.
The glass came in various patterns, also. This pattern is called, MADRID, in amber.
